A large profitable corporation is considering a capital investment of $50,000. The equipment has a projected salvage value of $0 at the end of the two-year project period. The annual gross income each of the next two years is projected to be $44,000 and expenses are projected to be $14,000 annually. The depreciation amount will be $25,000 annually. This profitable corporation has an incremental income tax rate of 25% and the MARR is 10%. The projections are based on current economic conditions without consideration of price or cost escalations. Nevertheless, a general inflation rate of 4% is expected, and it is anticipated that all future costs and revenues will react to this inflation. Determine the before-tax CF (in constant dollars) for Year 1 (only).

Tanaka Machine Shop is considering a 4-year project to improve its production efficiency. Buying a new machine press for $395,000 is estimated to result in $151,000 in annual pretax cost savings. The press qualifies for 100 percent bonus depreciation, and it will have a salvage value at the end of the project of $51,000. The press also requires an initial investment in spare parts inventory of $22,000, along with an additional $3,200 in inventory for each succeeding year of the project. The shop's tax rate is 22 percent and its discount rate is 9 percent. Calculate the NPV of this project. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.) NPV Should the company buy and install the machine press? O Yes O No
Estimate the approximate after-tax rate of return for a project that has a before-tax ROR of 18.6%. Assume the company's effective tax rate is 26% and it uses MACRS depreciation for an asset that has a $40,000 salvage value. The approximate after-tax rate of return is %.
Milliken uses a digitally controlled dyer for placing intricate and integrated patterns on manufactured carpet squares for home and commercial use. It is purchased for $400,000. It is expected to last years and have a salvage value of $30.000. Increased net income due to this dyer is $95.000 per year. Milliken's tax rate is 40 percent, and the after- tax MARR is 12 percent. Develop tables using a spreadsheet to determine the ATCF for each year and the after-tax PW, AW, and IRR after 8 years. Use S-years class depreciation for MACRS
Henredon purchases a high-precision programmable router for shaping furniture components for $190,000. It is expected to last 12 years and have a salvage value of $5,000. It will produce $45,000 in net revenue each year during its life. Corporate income taxes are 40 percent, and the after-tax MARR is 10 percent. Determine the ATCF for each year and the after-tax PW, AW, IRR, and ERR, if the router is kept for 12 years. After-tax PW: $enter a dollar amount rounded to the nearest dollar After-tax AW: $enter a dollar amount rounded to the nearest dollar After-tax IRR: enter percentages rounded to 1 decimal place % After-tax ERR: enter percentages rounded to 1 decimal place
Liberty Airways is considering an investment of$800,000 in ticket purchasing kiosks at selected airports.The kiosks (hardware and software) have an expectedlife of four years. Extra ticket sales are expected to be60,000 per year at a discount price of $40 per ticket.Fixed costs, excluding depreciation of the equipment,are $400,000 per year, and variable costs are $24 perticket. The kiosks will be depreciated over four years,using the SL method with a zero salvage value. Theonetime commitment of working capital is expected tobe 1/12 of annual sales dollars. The after-tax MARR is15% per year, and the company pays income tax at therate of 34%. What’s the after-tax PW of this proposedinvestment? Should the investment be made?
A city water and waste-water department has a four-year-old sludge pump that was initially purchased for $65,000. This pump can be kept in service for an additional four years, or it can be sold for $36,500 and replaced by a new pump. The purchase price of the replacement pump is $48,000. The projected MVs and operating and maintenance costs over the four-year planning horizon are shown in the table that follows. Assuming the MARR is 12%, (a) determine the economic life of the challenger and (b) determine when the defender should be replaced.
